We Were pleased with the apartment. But there were especially a lot of noise some nights to be heard at the upper bedroom. We found out, when we arrived, that it was a big issue not to disturb the neighbours.That meant thatwe were eager to prevent our children from making loud noises at all. Maby ...it was an idea to mention that in the description for the apartment. We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona very much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The location was perfect for exploring the shops and the local areas of interest and the apartment had a real home-away-from home feeling to it. If we're coming back to Barcelona we will definitely stay there again, as well as recommend it to anyone who is thinking of going.

Flat was in a lovely little square. Only one small drawback was when we came home at 4am there were no outside lights so it took us a long time to enter the buiding as we couldn't locate the lock!!

Firstly, the apartment was very clean and well looked after. There was also plenty of room for the three people in our party. The terrace area is very large and is great for sitting out on. There is also a washing machine, microwave and full sized fridge, which was very handy. The air conditioning... worked very well and was absolutely essential during our trip. There is also an entryphone system on the main door on ground level. The apartment is well located off the main road, so there is no excess noise in the evenings or overnight. It's only a short walk to the Ramblas, Port Vell or the beach. The contact person was very helpful and met us on time as previously arranged. In summary, a very nice apartment which we would have no hesitation in visiting in the future.

The accomodation was very spacious for two people and very clean. The roof terrace was excellent - great for sunbathing and drinking wine in the evenings. The apartment itself was set on a nice plaza, and 5 mins walk from Las Ramblas and the bars, and 5 mins from the waterfront. Perfect! The contact... person in Barcelona was also very helpful and met us at the apartment to show us round.

This was a really nice apartment, and my daughter and I enjoyed our stay very much, but I did not like the smell in the toilet and the bedroom. We enjoyed the terrace, and we though that the kitchen and the general decor was carefully chosen and attractive. It was ideally located for the shops and bars.

Great location, felt very safe, quiet little plaza with everything nearby. 10-15 minute walk to beach, Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya. Apt. was clean and neat, perfect size for 2-4. Balcony is a nice plus. Air conditioning worked well and provided welcome relief at the end of the day.

Excellent accommodation. Highly recommended but please note that there are quite steep steps up to the apartment which are also quite narrow. Great location and well equipped apartment.

I would suggest a couple of things that are very simple and would make a big difference, Provide extra sheets and pillows and pillow cases, as well as an extra set of towels. The quality of the sheets/bedding is poor and it's a very small expense.Same comment re towels. Also provide towels for drying dishes.

Nice location but the all the apartment has a very bad smell of humid due to the airconditioning

The apartment was cosy. The square lively and interesting. The toilet area smelled moldy. The climb to the apartment on the very narrow stairs should be mentioned in the description. I was not expecting that and at my age would not have chosen to rent that apartment. It was very discouraging to... see how far up I had to climb after a long day of travelling.

Really nice and quiet apartment with an excellent location. Near to the beach and to nice shops at the old town. Metro station is also in short distance.

i was extremely happy with my stay in barcelona and accomodation through oh-barcelona. the location was amazing, very central and the loft was terrific. i really liked the space and the roof terrace was great. we had a lot more than i thought - tv, stereo, washer dryer. we got to experience a ...different side to barcelona, like a local. it was just very difficult to leave barcelona and our loft.

It was lovely overall - cold due to the winter but they brought in brand new space heaters and it was perfectly cozy. Reasonably well stocked kitchen, DVDs by the TV...the only thing I would have liked is a telephone in the apartment. My U.S. cell phone doesn't work in Europe so it was frustrating to be without a phone at all during my trip.

The apartment was in excellent condition and had everything we needed. The location is great with public transport easily accessible.

The apartment is very nice and cosy, and it was great to have a terrace, because the weather was so good. The apartment was actually better, than we expected, but the indoor climate at the top floor was not satisfactory.

The Good: The flat was very nice and in a great location. We loved our little plaza and all the sidewalk cafes there!
Could be Better: The flat was advertised with a washing machine which was broken when we arrived :-( After 2 weeks on the road, we really needed it! Also, we had to go buy ...some pretty basic items (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) as there was only one roll of TP available. (Maybe include a small charge in the rent and have it onsite?).
Overall, a pretty good place though! Owner was on-time and very helpful.

Oh-Barcelona:

On the washing machine, in fact it is a problem that the owner is trying to address. It should be replaced as soon as possible. On toilet paper, the minimum is provided for each stay. Since it is not a hotel but an apartment, additional services are reduced slightly.

Cosy appartment, very well situated, with a nice square in front of the building.
Beds could have been more comfortable and a double bed is very welcome. Furthermore the baby cot was rather unstable (but can be solved by replacing it for another one).

Lo único que he echado de menos han sido más toallas, pero bueno como tenía lavadora y era verano tenía toallas listas en de la mañana a la tarde :) Pero por lo demás hemos pasado unas vacaciones estupendas en el alojamiento y la terraza esta muy bien para tomar unas cervezas.
My only ...complaint was that we didn´t have enough towels but we had washmachine so I had them ready in few hours :). I had a wonderful time in the apartment and the terrace was a great space to drink few beers.

Quick response to A/C problem appreciated. Some written instructions in English would be useful. Booking with oh-barcelona.com no problem, good response to questions.

This is a great apartment but something has to be done regarding the smell coming out of the toilet (reflux from the sewers?)
Made a first reservation through the site that was canceled because the room was not available. A deposit in EUR was debited from my credit card and later refunded in EUR ...to my credit card. But as this was not done as a cancellation of the first transaction but as 2 separate transactions, I lost a couple of AUD (EUR got weaker against the AUD and I had to pay a currency exchange fee from my bank for the first transaction) due to no fault of my own...

Oh-Barcelona:

OH has apologised for the cancellation of the first apartment, it was an exceptional case. Regarding the recovery of bank charges, OH has refunded the money to the client.

The owner confirms that due to this being a building in the old Gothic quarter of town, the moisture problem cannot be avoided when it rains. Meanwhile, the apartment has heating to provide comfort and warmth for the clients during their stay. The apartment also has a space for hanging clothes on the terrace. The landlord confirms that he has fixed the two plugs that were broken.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful apartment. It is very well equipped and in excellent condition. The contact person was lovely and very helpful. It is located in a beautiful area and we highly recommend it.

When it rains water comes into the apartment through the ceiling and around the upper patio doors. This causes mold and mildew, which you can smell throughout the apartment.
After I sent an email about the water leakage, someone came that day to help clean it up.

Oh-Barcelona:

Dear Client,
W e would like to thank you for your comments.
We apologize for the inconveniences caused, and you regret that your stay was not perfectly enjoyable due to the problems with the humidity and the bad smell.
We confirm that the property owner has taken all necessary measures to ensure that these incidents do not happen, by organizing various improvements to the apartment.

The apartment is as is advertised, quaint, comfortable and in a good location. The bathroom is quite small, but usable if that is a consideration. It was quite hot while we were there, and the air conditioning was excellent. We had a slight problem with the shower drain, and Josef was there ...immediately and fixed it without questioning.
The location can't be beat. It is right where you want to be in Gothic, and has close access to all transit and restaurants. The three flights of stairs require some getting used to, but are easily navigated after a few trips.
We highly recommend this flat for a couple that want to experience old Barcelona.

Excellent apartment in a wonderful city - we loved the location and would stay there again

Wonderful location, and the feeling of really living in Barcelona. Of course a bit hard to locate at first, like everything in Barrio Gotico, but I loved even that. S, the owner is a very nice and helpful woman. Yes, the apartment is smells a little bit of damp, but thats Barcelona. Great location, ...great rooms, and pittoresque narrow hallway. (Nothing for a wheelchair though). It has air conditioning in all rooms. The apartment have more light than it seems it the pictures, and two balconies. The little plaza outside has a beautiful little lunchbar, with sun during daytime, where you find good and cheap meals and loving personell. Grocery stores and panderias also close to apartment, and both sea and city just a tiny walk away.We would definitely rent the same place again.

The apartment was excellent. The location is unbeatable in Barcelona. Be sure to check out Bo de B just down the street, best bocadillo in Barcelona. The apartment offers an excellen traditional Barcelona experience with everything you need within a five minute walk. Check in was extremely easy and efficient.

We loved our stay in Barcelona, in this wonderful apartment placed in a authentic spanish property with a view over a lovely little square with vigorous activity, yet calm and quiet. Superb location in the middle of the Gothic area with endless options of shopping and dining. We will definitely ...stay in this apartment next time we come to Barcelona.Nielsen family from Copenhagen/Denmark

The whole experience was out of this world. The location is spectacular and the views from the terrace overlooking the courtyard were wonderful. The apartment itself is fabulous and it's a short walk to the beach. Can't recommend it enough. We will definitely go back!

The most awful stairs that lead to an apartment, should be pointed out to people. Because apartment is old there is a smell of mold and dampness. I got alergy right away. But that is, probably, how all old apartments smell in Barcelona. Its a hotel for me next time!

Oh-Barcelona:

Dear customer, We appreciate and value your feedback. The Owner regrets hearing on your views on the staircase, but reminds us that this is an apartment located in the Gothic Quarter, where many of the staircases are old. He informs us that he always tries to ventilate the apartment before the clients arrival in order to offer quality service.

Fantastic location. Very clean. Good shower. However, there was a musty smell in the unit. Consider another apartment if you have asthma or respiratory problems.

Oh-Barcelona:

Dear customer, we appreciate and value your feedback. The owner confirms that the smell of moisture can result from rainfall, since it is a cold apartment with high roofs. They also confirm that by using the heating this is not noticed.

We were really pleased with this apartment and would definitely go back again.

This was the perfect place to stay in Barcelona. Awesome location, in the picturesque gothic quarter where it is easy to walk to the beach (10 -15 minutes) and metro stations. The location was a big highlight for us because of its accessibility to everything. The apartment itself is clean, well ...stocked with everything you need, spacious and comfortable. The terrace was a huge treat - we ate breakfast out there every morning and it was just a perfect place to spend time in the sun when we weren't out exploring. We had read several reviews about it being a bit damp but we really didn't feel this at all (it is Barcelona after all). S. was so helpful any time we had a question. Would absolutely book here again if we went back.
So helpful every step of the way. We were particularly pleased to be able to leave our luggage for the day on our last day as we weren't flying out until late. The staff in the building were so friendly, so helpful and so cheerful. S., our host, was just amazing and answered every question we had quickly. Would book again with Oh Barcelona in a second.

Best location in Barcelona, absolute fantastic. The apartment was good, nice rooftop (great!!). However the smell from the sewer was very bad unfortunately, hope they can fix it for the next guests!

Oh-Barcelona:

Dear client, thank you very much for your feedback.
Please be informed that the smell comes from the outside and is that it is stronger on particularly hot days.

The worlds slowest kettle to boil, approx. 20mins.
Dangerous electrical work, mainly in bedroom.Would be a great apartment if smartened up.Would have thought a small supply of coffee,tea and toilet paper helpful. Gemma and Mike

Oh-Barcelona:

Dear customer, thank you very much for your feedback.
The owner confirms having repaired the broken plug beside the bed. He also confirms that there is always some salt and oil in the apartment, as well as two rolls of toilet paper.

A real gem. While a hike up the stairs the rooftop patio is worth it. Great kitchen (needs a good butcher knife), split HVAC (separate controls for up & down), we needed it and it works great. Serenaded by really good voice and guitar from the small plaza below each evening. Location is beautiful ...and very convenient to beaches, old sections, and famous plazas. Good locks, Windows, furniture, and cleanliness. Best internet of my month long journey. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Barcelona.

A great roof top terrace chairs and table provided. Be ready for lots of narrow stairs to reach the condo/apartment.Well supplied clean and cozy. Tv and very good wifi service.One is close to metro as well as you are able to walk anywhere from this location. We stayed here for one week in March ...2017 and we are seniors! Very clean accommodation and outside garbage was collected 3 times a day and area swept as well. A lot of tours go on this route as there are parts of the old Roman wall from the 4th century in the plaza. Loved the narrow interwinding streets. Lots of places to eat out or go for groceries for supplies. A nice way to be a part of Spainish life in Barcelona!
Being met by C upon our arrival was prompt polite and easily set up for our week's stay.

Overpriced for the standard of accommodation. We loved the location. C was excellent. We found the apartment clean and reasonably comfortable but thought it was very basic. The work going on outside made a lot of noise bs mess and we felt it was very poor to let it out when this was happening.

S. who met us at the apartment was a lovely girl she showed us round the apartment and showed us were everything was on the map. The apartment was brilliant especially the terrace it was great to be able to go and sit on the terrace after a day of sightseeing, other reviewers mentioned the stairs we... had no problem with the stairs in fact we loved the stairs they are part of the quaint building. we were so happy we were able to book this apartment this year because last year we tried to book it but it was not available for our dates.we were in the best location in Barcelona the Barrio Gotico area is absolutely amazing.
